haha...i have done that at least twice... grinning smiley
i used to quite dislike parsley, so i kicked myself.
and then laughed.
both times!

i do eat it sometimes but rarely buy it - it is fantastic in tabbouleh though
a traditional ingredient
you can make this salad with food processed-cauliflower in place of the traditional grain
or you could sprout some quinoa

or you could just chop up the veggies, no bulgar - i would finely chop some nice tomatoes, cucumber, (spring/green)onions if you like, maybe some celery or something too. finely chop all the parsley too and some coriander/cilantro if you fancy it and a bit of mint. then squeeze lots of lemon over, add good olive oil and salt if you use it. could also add spices like cumin. add sprouts if you like too (chickpeas/garbanzo?)
sounds pretty tasty!
i'd serve it with romaine leaves and perhaps a drizzle of tahini
orr...search for raw tabbouleh!

i found this too

**Parsley Soup

1 bunch parsley
5 medium tomatoes
3 stalks celery
juice of 3 lemons
1 tablespoon of honey (?)
1/2 cup of ground nuts
2 or 3 chinese water chestnuts
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon thyme

The recipes says to blend in a blender the parsley, tomatoes and celery and then strain them. I have done it that way but found it easier to just extract their juices in a juicer. Then add lemon juice, honey, ground nuts, herbs and peeled, chopped water chestnuts. Stir well and serve. Hot pepper may be added if preferred.

This soup is tangy and delicious. Even my cook-food-eating parents loved it!**

1 crown of broccoli
1/2 avo or little evoo
some him salt
1 cucumber or zucchini
handful of parsley
clove of garlic
squeeze of lemon juice
blend up in a blender with some warm water..it is delicious!!!

you can also use parsley chopped up in cauliflower rice for nori rolls...or just plain...or use it in hummus
i like zucchini hummus with some chopped parsly...

you can also do a green smoothie with some romaine, or kale, or any green..a handful of parsley and some fruit of your choice...bananas are good take the edge off the greens smiling smiley some use 2 bananas and a few other pieces of fruit

hope this helps smiling smiley

this sounds like some jerry seinfeld joke

every once and awhile i'll get things like parsley and broccoli sprouts and eat them out of hand with my other lettuce or celery or whatnot...just for variation kicks.

Parsley is used extensively in Italian cuisine. i have read of people making raw pesto sauce and that it tasted fantastic. I think www.gliving.tv has a recepi for that.
